Sounds more like a Chrysler engine. No chevy bog there!

@@JBM9823 small block Chevy lol probably a 302

Naturally aspirated small block Chevy pushing 500 plus horses music to my ears

Well said . Owners of any newer muscle would wreck this in a hot second with no nannies to save em

Lol...

I had one too, didn't need to do anything other than adjust the solid lifters. Weak link was pressed in rocker studs

Hahah that's more of a ROAR!!! I love it.

How do you know? Just curious.

@@ThePerpetualStudent I know I'm a little late but the Z28 package included a hi performance 302

Dustin Lisner I did t know Chevy had a 302. Very interesting. I am a ford guy through and through but I always though the cameros looked so much more “racey” than the mustangs, but the 1970 boss helped change that for me.

@@ThePerpetualStudent they only put it into the 67-69 Z28s it was basically a 327 with a 283 crank. They were definitely rev monsters.

@@dustinlisner7405 exactly what the were designed to do and they did it amazingly

Track TA engines were really 305 cubic inch. They used every cubic inch the rules allowed.

Probably non vacuum assisted brakes too

it was also done to help get a little heat into them as well as making sure the pads were properly spaced from the rotor so they'd grab evenly

The only way to fight torque on these is to not press the gas.

I see you made a comment with out knowing any thing about this race the car or the driver this car is all original the way it ran in 1973 as of Trans Am rules of that era i know I help Maintain that car with my historic Trans Am car and frank drove that car for 1970 to 1976 then sold the car then bought it back in the 1990 to restore it to race it again that is not an easy car to drive and in. This video he is in his 70s it amazes that he could still dive it that well the cars that are in front have a lot more modern components in them that make a hug advantage over franks car and by your comment I can see you have never drive a race car like we do so next time think before making a comment like that and go get a 100K and buy a car like that and see how well you do we would be lapping you See you on the track 😂

@@mddube773 Well said. Kids watch video games then YT and think they can do better. Vids dont give any clue whats really going on in that cab. Takes ability and balls to drive it as well as he did.

Those 302s were actually really powerful. High compression, high revving. They made about 400 horsepower.

400? in fact they made more like 500 !!!!

The engine could never do that stock. The heads can't flow that well. The only way is to bump the compression up really high. The Trans Am cars ran around 465hp and they used Ford 1:7 ratio rocker arms and Ford lifters .874 instead of GM .842. Thats why they had those stretch marks on the valve covers because they hammered them out. They didn't have after market valve covers back then.

The factory single 4 bbl 302's made 445 hp @ 7400 rpm on the GM dynos. The Traco race 302's made in excess of 525 hp.

@@496chevyrat Who said anything about "stock"??? These 302 Chevy's used in Trans Am racing were worked by the team's engine builders, and they DID indeed exceed 500 hp. That's a documented fact. The famous "Woody" 69 Camaro alone, took 1st & 2nd place in 2 different races, going up against the Shelby Cobra's & Mustangs.........that's SAYING something about how great these 302 Z-28's were. This reminds me of another example: The "Chevy mystery motor" raced in NASCAR by Ray Fox/Junior Johnson. I believe it was the 1963 year. People today claiming that motor made "around 450hp". BULLSHIT. Junior Johnson himself said they were getting well over 700 hp out of that engine, and NOTHING could touch it that year. It was a big bore, short stroke platform. Problem was, it had an inferior valve train they just couldn't get right. Junior Johnson/Ray Fox won 7 of 30 races that year, with 23 DNF's!!! That means when the motor didn't break late in the 400 & 500 mile races, it would out-run everything else on the track & win easily. Ray Fox & Junior Johnson both stated that had they been able to solve the valve train problem, they could've won every dog gone race that year. The engine was that much stronger than anything else. You can look it up. There were something like only 17 of those engines made. ( It paved the way to the 427. ) Ray Fox & Jr Johnson got 6 I believe, and Smokey Yunick got 6 as well. The remaining few engines HAD to be made available to the Ford & Chrysler teams for inspection........per race rules. But after inspection from the competing teams that weren't racing Chevy's, Junior Johnson & Ray Fox bought those few engines back from them, to make it through the season.

From the factory I believe they were 12.6:1 or 13:1 my 86 iroc had 12:1 constant velocity and my trans am 87 has 12.6:1 you can slap a person's head pretty easily with 12:1

No, that's power steering. Frank custom made it. At that time he was 75 years old.

Yeah, It doesn't even flinch until it reaches 6500. Listen to that sound at 8000 !

he is shifting at 8200

нет русский no, im russian from shitty russia.
